Apps

For managing diabetes: FREE, although there are in-app purchases that will eliminate ads.

Apps can be useful in tracking and revealing patterns in glucose management. These are suggestions – the apps may not work for you, so it is important to try others if you are unsatisfied as there may be a better fit.
